Emperors of Wyoming Release Afghan Whigs Cover

Butch Vig’s band Emperors of Wyoming have released a cover of the Afghan Whigs track “Rebirth of the Cool”. Originally appearing as “Miles Iz Ded”, the bonus track on Congregation, “Rebirth of the Cool” was a remix of that song and was included on the Uptown Avondale EP.

The new interpretation is a two-step country take that flips the dance mix into its polar opposite form. The lyrics take center stage with each word clearly defined, building into the recognizable chorus, making it even more of a sing-along anthem.
